PUPILS at a village school took part in a world record attempt to create the world's largest reading lesson.
Much Birch Primary School was just one of many other schools which watched a video of J.K Rowling reading the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Mayor of Hereford, Jim Kenyon, was one of the official witnesses.
The evidence has been sent off to Guinness World Records, which will confirm if it was a record within 21 days.
